[edit] Chords in this song

um...maybe i'm just weird or something, but i have no idea what Am+ means. I'd appreciate it if someone could fill me in. The meaning of Gbm+ elludes me as well. What does that little plus sign mean?--2sheds

I looked around a little and found some references, and it looks like the + means a #5. Adding a #5 to minor chord creates a major chord on the third degree of the minor's root, oddly enough, so Am+ has the same notes in it as an F major chord.
One way to use this chord in the song is to play an Am, then fret up on the 4th string to add an F, then fret up again to add the F# for the Am6, and then back down again for the Am+. Here are some chord diagrams: 


    Am  Am+ Am6                        Am  Am+ Am6
  ---0---0---0---                    ---5---5---5---
  ---1---1---1---                    ---5---5---5---
  ---2---2---2---        OR          ---5---5---5---
  ---2---3---4---                    ---7---7---7---
  ---0---0---0---                    ---7---8---9---
  ---x---x---x---                    ---5---5---5---
Good luck - this is a bit of a tough song to pull out, but someone asks you to play a TMBG song, it'll probably be this one. Jerome 03:52, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
